sin2x=_____?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hellow, Jules! How are the strawberries today? There is a trig identity for sin 2x. It's worth learning and memorizing it. But if you insist on finding an expression for sin 2x yourself, why not use the common trig identity sin (a+b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b?

The strawberries are great :) i most certainly do not want to fins it on my own, i would much prefer memorizing @mathmale

^find

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{blue}{ \sin(2x)=\sin(x+x)=\sin(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\cos(x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)}\) this is the proof for the rule, \(\large\color{red}{ \sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)}\) Or, \(\large\color{blue}{ \sin^2(x)=1-\cos^2(x)}\)

so what does this mean for my answer? is that my answer? @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't want to copy mathmale, but it is fair to say that the problem lacks a little info.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what i was given, i'll give you my answer choices

OpenStudy (mathmale):

In that case, Jules, memorize the formula developed from scratch here by Solomon Zelman: \[\large\color{red}{ \sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)}\] ...but I would much prefer you learn, remember and apply the approach used by Solomon. I will trade you 7 blueberries for one strawberry.

THANK YOU!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you may have the strawberry

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If you are given sin 2x without instructions, then the only responses that make much sense are 1) sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x (an identity), or 2) sin (x+x) = sin x cos x + cos x sin x, which simplifies to (1).

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Thank you...that's really kind. :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

7 blueberries is less than 1 strawberry?? I like strawberry better though, so I wouldn't trade if I were you...

OpenStudy (mathmale):

No. Actually, 7 blueberries = 1 strawberry in terms of enjoyment and taste value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i need more blueberries....

OpenStudy (mathmale):

By UPS Overnight Air Parcel Service? Gonna cost ya.
